ARahim3/DigUp v0.7.0-beta.2

DigUp 0.7.0-beta.2 for Windows and Linux

on GitHub

Fixes for what people ran into in the first beta, on Linux and Windows, and three security fixes.

Fixed:

• Windows: a file between 2 and 4 GB in a chosen folder stopped indexing before it started, so nothing in that folder or the folders after it was ever indexed. (#87, from #100 by @zilingzhang)
• Linux: the search panel in the AppImage no longer stops responding when a recording comes up first in the results. The AppImage was missing the GStreamer plugins WebKit needs. (#64 by @07rjain)
• Linux: on some distributions (Debian 13 and Ubuntu 26.04 among them), the model download stopped after each file it finished, and DigUp had to be opened again to go on. It now finishes in one go, and if a download ends without a word, DigUp checks the files once more before calling it failed. (#64, #92)
• Linux: the indexing helper never exited after finishing, and stayed in the background until DigUp quit. (#63)
• Linux: DigUp started from an extracted AppImage wrote a login entry that crashed at login. The entry now runs AppRun. (#125)
• The preview no longer marks "in", "at" and other words search ignores, and opens the passage at the words that matched. (#104)
• A malformed RTF file or a damaged HEIF photo could end the indexing helper instead of being skipped. (#95, #96)

New:

• Settings → General → "Run the model on the processor", for a computer whose graphics card gives empty or wrong results. (#97)

Security:

• Code search no longer lets a repository's own git configuration run a program while DigUp lists its files. A project folder that arrived unzipped or copied could carry such a configuration; cloned repositories were never affected, and code search is off unless you turned it on. (from #78 by @siraben; reported privately, the advisory follows)
• A crafted HEIF photo, or a document with a zip entry claiming gigabytes, could stop the indexing helper on Linux and Windows. (reported privately, the advisories follow)

Download:

• Windows: DigUp_0.7.0-beta.2_x64-setup.exe, for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. It installs for you only, with no admin rights. The installer isn't signed yet, so Windows may say it doesn't recognize the app: choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Linux: DigUp_0.7.0-beta.2_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Mint 21 and newer (sudo apt install ./DigUp_0.7.0-beta.2_amd64.deb; the package is called dig-up), or the AppImage for other distributions. Both are for 64-bit Intel and AMD processors.

If you have beta.1, the Windows installer and the AppImage update themselves; with the .deb, install the new one over it. From this version on, Windows and Linux get their updates separately, so a fix for one of them no longer means a download for the other.

The Mac app isn't part of this release; it stays at 0.6.1, and its next release carries the code-search fix.

Thanks to @zilingzhang, @07rjain, @siraben and @Eotel, whose fixes are in this release, and to everyone who reported.
